Katie's 6-Week Checkup

I went to my Dr. this morning for my 6-week checkup after labor. I am healing nicely and I have lost 26 of 34 pounds. I think that is pretty darn good considering I have eaten nothing but carbs since I delivered (seriously). I wasn't allowed to eat carbs when I was pregnant, so I have eaten dessert every single day (sometimes twice a day) and lots of pasta, etc. I seemed to get over my carb cravings a few days ago, and I started exercising again, so maybe I can get those last 8 pounds off relatively soon. To tell you how popular my Dr. is, I'm supposed to have an exam about 3 months after my labor, but she doesn't have a single opening until JANUARY. WOW!!!!!! Anyway, she was so glad I brought Bradley so she could see what she helped deliver. :-)

In Bradley news, anytime Bradley cries, Xon always says, "Maybe he's having a growth spurt." He finally realized he was saying that a lot, so now it's a running joke. Last night, Xon said, "By the way, Casey wanted me to tell you that he thinks Bradley is having a growth spurt." ;-)

Things were really hectic this weekend and our routine got a bit off track, so I took Bradley for a weight check today. Unfortunately he did not gain what he was supposed to. We had cut back on the supplement like the lactation person told us to, but then yesterday Bradley wouldn't take any supplement at all. I took this as a good sign, thinking he was weaning himself. But he must not quite be ready to go cold turkey, so I am going to offer a half ounce at every feeding and see what he will eat. Then maybe we can go to a half ounce at every other feeding and then quit altogether. We'll see!
